After months of speculation – even more so than usual with the later start date this year – the 2014 NFL draft is officially here. Stay tuned for live updates.

UCLA’s starting receivers paved the way for Brett Hundley to seize the game with his own two feet, racing down the left sideline for an 86-yard run in the second quarter that broke a 7-7 tie.

Few USC games start without mascot Tommy Trojan’s proverbial boast of conquest – piercing midfield logos with his sword. Unlike any UCLA-USC meeting over the last 16 years, Saturday night’s installment in the rivalry saw the Bruins stake their own claim to Trojan territory.

For about 5,000 Bruin fans who packed into Wilson Plaza for Tuesday night’s Beat ‘SC Bonfire, crosstown rivalry was more important than the postseason implications of this Saturday’s UCLA-USC game.

When redshirt senior wide receiver Shaquelle Evans tore open for 15-yards on a 4th and 5 to bring the Bruins five yards across midfield, completion of a furious rally appeared to be within UCLA’s grasp. An end zone visit would erase a 22-point deficit and make for a four to none touchdown second-half run for the Bruins.

PASADENA — Eddie Vanderdoes jumped off of the field to catch a fumbled ball, the product of freshman safety Tahaan Goodman’s facemask colliding with the pigskin held by Washington running back Bishop Sankey.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Freshman linebacker Myles Jack appeared destined for his first touchdown as a Bruin in an early October win over Utah.

Fresh off their first losing streak of the season, the Bruins appeared to drag their feet in the opening act of their 45-23 win over the Colorado Buffaloes.

The prospect of passing out from exhaustion and pain hung constantly over Marcus Rios. Coming down with stuffy noses during his senior year of high school morphed into breathing almost exclusively through his mouth during football summer workouts.

EUGENE, Ore. — Competing proved to be a mainstay in Jim Mora’s mantra leading up to Saturday’s 42-14 road loss against the No. 2 Oregon Ducks. The UCLA coach guaranteed to media throughout the week that his Bruins, whose troubles include an offensive line that only has one opening day starter playing at his original position, would play as hard as it could against the No. 2 team in the nation.
